Last Sunday was phenomenal! After 6 weather delays we finally got a good weekend to launch! It was challenging to work through the cold but we got it done. 27 rockets flew! I’m at about 85-90 new rockets and rocketeers now (I’m losing count 😂, gotta update my spreadsheet). I’m on track for my previous goal of 150 by April. My new goal is 1000 by the end of the year! I want to inspire as many people as possible. I’ve brought kids back from previous rounds as volunteers and some of them are in their 3rd rocket! Indianapolis will have the highest rockets per capita in the world!
Quick background: I created and run a high power rocketry bootcamp to teach kids how to build and launch rockets to inspire them to become astronauts, engineers, scientists, artists, whatever they want!

This is fuckin cool. Are you a non-profit?
This is incredible. Is there any way we can support this?
Looking like a katushka factory, that’s really cool! I wish we had something like this in my area when I grew up
What’s the greatest altitude you’ve gotten to?
Hezbullah level of dedication there.
Awesome to see how quickly this has taken off!! No pun intended
Everyone must know now that rocket building in Indiana is how you end up within for or with the US government. Having built rockets myself, eventually you just end up there.
Shoot em off, launch em, but definitely don’t get into making rockets unless you get an explosives permit, which let me tell you has been a very good lesson in proper chemical storage as I originally started working in fertilizer
This has been your PSA, don’t catch stuff on fire, not worth it, get good insurance
May the best Rocket win
